Saw a handful of slides on usual suspects around mill D (firewater, reynolds, west desolation) but this on the south face of little water was a bit more of a surprise. SE aspect, definitely got a lot of wind loading on the lee side of this little ridge, hard to tell depth as it was filled back in but the deepest point top right looked like at least 5ft or so. guessing it went on the 14th based on how much had filled back in. width is a guess based on caltopo measurement as well
